I took Dolly up the lane for a walk (short one, still got tummy bug) got passed by a cyclist, coughing. Then a jogger who stopped panting and coughing. Then two joggers, side by side passed about 2 feet from me, panting and saying, "Good Morning".

From now on in the car to a field somewhere.

Mothers are arranging play dates for kids, teenagers in groups, everywhere!
I was reading an article on the beeb this morning TessA that was advising all the runners who should be running the London Marathon to run locally, solo, so they could still raise the money for the charities....

I also went running this morning, but very early, and out on quiet country roads, never saw a soul until I returned through the village, and they were people going to the shop for a paper. A long way away from me thank God....

You come to John o Groats and Stroma is a few minutes in a motor boat. 😁
This photo was taken from the mainland at Groats, that's Stroma out in the firth. Not far but isolated.

Looks nice Roxy, when this Coronavirus thing is over, if I'm still here, I'll come up and visit Groats. I used to work with a bloke who came up this way to surf.

Not much to see at Groats actually, few shops, the big house and a ferry pick up to Orkney, for day trips. Never seen Surfers there, must be Dunnet, Sandside, Thurso Reef or one of the wee Bays your friend went to. 🤔

Anyway.
People that say they are cold, then proceeded to put their cold hands on your face.
We do something similar at bed time. No, not what you're thinking, with your dirty mind!

Marge usually gets into bed first; I come later.

Just for a laugh, I put a hand on Marge's thigh.
"Cold hand!" she screams.
"Mmmm, warm thigh," I reply.

After a few minutes, I then add, "Mmmm, warm hand."
And Marge replies, "C-c-c-cold thigh."

You should try it, lads. It's funny!

Ours might supply an additional bin but it's 'means tested', that is, you have to have a large family.
There's only two of us (and two cats), so no hope!.
